A brand-new stand-alone novel in the New York Times best-selling Briar U series!

What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate...no matter how hard that makes things.

But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie - my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.

Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.

And she’s making a play for me.

Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.

Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body - and my heart.

Just loved this story of what starts out as a student assignment. Turns to friendship, then turns to more. Both helping each other out along the way.
Narration was amazing.

Wow

The story itself is great, but the female narrator cannot pronounce a word to save her life.

Great story, female narrator sucks

I didn’t mind the storyline, the characters were likeable and Teddy is fantastic as always. I’m sorry, the female narrator was very hard to listen to. Her childish voice was off putting when listening to the intimate scenes and plain annoying overall.

Thank goodness for Teddy

I just can't stand the female narrators voice but Teddy Hamilton as always is fantastic! The female narrator sounds like she's got a weird blocked nose which prevents her from pronouncing words properly and her inflection makes it seem like she finds everything she's saying is funny

I'm going to switch to reading this one
